Abstract— Green power refers specifically to electricity generated from a subset of renewable resources, including solar, wind,geothermal, biogas, biomass, and low-impact hydroelectric sources. Green Energy sources produce electricity with an environmentalprofile superior to conventional power technologies and produce no anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Green Energy isreducing dependence on foreign sources and act as a stimulant for clean-energy companies paving the way for Protecting resourcesand reducing Global warming. Green Energy leads Innovation to Deployment through Comprehensive approach to innovation,Collaboration withPrivate Indusry.

Key Words—Green energy, solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, global warming, electricity, innovation, integration, adoption, deployment

1) GREEN ENERGY

HE Term Green Energy is used in different ways. In the

broadest sense, green Energy refers to environmentally pref-

erable energy and energy technologies, both electric and

thermal. This definition of Green-energy, include many types of

power, from solar photovoltaic systems to wind turbines to fuel

cells for automobiles. Green power refers specifically to electrici-

ty generated from a subset of renewable resources, including so-

lar, wind, geothermal, biogas, biomass, and low-impact hydroe-

lectric sources. These electricity sources are derived from natural

resources that replenish themselves over short periods of time.

Green Energy sources produce electricity with an environmental

profile superior to conventional power technologies and produce

no anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.

2) WHY CLEAN ENERGY?

Using clean, renewable energy is one of the most important ac-tions you can take to reduce our impact on the environment. Elec-tricity production is our #1 source of greenhouse gases, morethan all of our driving and flying, combined, and clean energyalso reduces harmful smog, toxic buildups in our air and water,and the impacts caused by coal mining and gas extraction.

3) CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER TECHNOLOGIESConcentrated solar power technology stands for both efficientand sustainable power generation.1. Solar energy is concentrated by the mirrors to the receivers.Solar collectors track the sun in order to maximize the solar ener-gy yield.2.Heat transfer fluid is circulated and heated through the solarfield loops. Cooled heat transfer fluid is returned and reused.3. Pumps circulate the heat transfer fluid through the solar field.4.Heat exchangers transfer the thermal energy from the heattransfer fluid system to the water steam cycle.5. The water steam cycle transfers the thermal energy from theheat exchangers to the steam turbine.6. The steam turbine converts thermal energy to electric power.7. The cooling tower cools the water cycle.8. Clean power is delivered to customers via the power grid.9. Central control optimizes solar power plant.

4) TO WHOM DO CLEAN ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES BENEFIT?

Development and application of clean technology and renewableenergy can offer organisations a variety of environmental, finan-cial, stakeholder relations, economic development, and nationalsecurity benefits.

5) Green Energy ImperativesReducing dependence on foreign sources

Stimulating clean‐ energy companies and growth

Protecting resources and reducing global warming

6) To-day's Green Energy System• Dependent on non-domestic sources• Subject to price volatility• Increasingly vulnerable energy delivery systems• 2/3 of source energy is wasted• Significant carbon emissions

Role of electricity increasing

7) Future Green Energy System• Carbon neutral• Efficient• Diverse supply options• Sustainable use of natural resources• Creates economic development

• Accessible, affordable

8) Innovation to Deployment

• Comprehensive approach to innovation• Collaboration with private industry Connects science to themarketplace and Delivers market relevant technologies and com-petitive clean energy products

9) KEY CHALLENGES IN GREEN ENERGY SYSTEMSINTEGRATION• Increase overall energy system efficiency• Integrating new technologies in existing infrastructure

Engagement of consumers in energy use – increases complexi-ty but also increases system flexibility.Gaps in the ability to address these questions

• Difficult to test large-scale deployments of new technologies• Difficult to obtain information on actual performance

10) GREEN ENERGYPOTENTIALS IN INDIAGeothermal generation has a potential of 10,000 MW but thereare no plants presently installed. The main factors restricting thedevelopment of this sector are the long gestation period and thelack of record for this technology in India. In India there is a de-mand of expertise for R&D in this field and scope also for Trans-fer of Technology.

11) TIDAL-ENERGYTidal energy has a potential of 9,000 MW, with site identifiedmainly in Gujarat and in the Ganges delta in West Bengal. Thereis no significant installation but the government of Gujarat hasannounced, in January 2011, a project of 50 MW that will beeventually the first commercial tidal project in India.
